A COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT,
A Forcible Argument in Favor of
the Appointment.
To the Editor of the Statesman

To the Editor of the Statesman.
The commissioners court of this county
have postponed the appointment of q
county superintendent, desiring to have
an expression of the wishes of the people
on the subject.
1t would seem that the author of the
bill, being one of the honorable members
from this county, and its subsequent dis
cussion and passage by the legislature,
gave justly full expression of the
views of the people not only of
this county but of the entire state. If,
however, the honorable commissioners de-
sire an expression through the papers, the
friends of the measure do not fear a
thorough discussion of its merits. We
have, In our city schools, fine illustra-
ton of the benefits of supervision.
Eight years ago the public schools of
Austin were in languishing condition,
and the recent report of the superintend-
ent shows them to be fourishing. If super
vision in the city schools can, in
so short time, elevate and
establish them on permanent basis, why
not in the country? The writer of this
article is satisfied, from experience and
observation, that the country schools are
susceptible of as high a degree of adj
vancement as the city schools, having
taught both in the city and country. Mr..
Cooper, our excellent superintendent of
public instruction, says in the January
number of the School Journal "The senti-
ment is practically unanimous among
enlighted educators that there should be
local officers invested with the duty of
supervising the schools in each county
and responsible for the manner in which
the duty is performed to the superintend-
ent of public instruction"
Mr.. Baker says, in his biennial report,
S42-S6: "The demand for local supervision
of the schools Is imperative"
Judge sFulmore, in an able ESSAY read
before the teachers institute of this
county, says: among some of the bene
fits of real supervision would be more and
better work, greater general interest diff
fused, thorough and honest school
census, and the general good
results which would flow from
this, larger attendance at schools. an in
crease of at least fifteen per cent. in time,
a more economical disbursement of the
FUND, accurate school statistics and svs-
tematlc administration of the school laws

"REMINISCENCES.

Austin Then, and Austin Now.
To the Editor of the Statesman
Forty years ago the writer knew Austin
in its more glorious days. When Pinkney
Henderson and Rusk and Houston, the
intellectual giants, who spoke ITO the
young republic from the "old Congress
hail." whers the city hall now stands; the
same hall in which Arson Jones, then
president of the republic, transferred the
Lone Star republic to its place in the
galaxy of the United States of America.
There are a few whose memory can
take them back TO the days when Thos.
Trumvalt, the Jacks and the Whartons,
the Kaufmans and the Scurrys, the Van
Zants and 'Three-legged Wilson" lived,
moved and had their being. Then the
honorable representatives of free, indie
pendent and happy people came and went
from the Red river and from the Rio
Grande to Austin on horseback; camping
out, with their rations, stake ropes, Mex
lean gourds and COTE pots tied to the
horns of their saddles. Then there were
no palace cars, nor telegraphs nor tele-
phones; no cross-road inns or whisky
grog shops to stop at on their
way. Then we we're not, as now,
succeeded in the halls of
legislation by our old slaves and body
servants, as some of US have since been,
and too, under the laws of the "best gov
erment the world ever saw" A wonderful
mutation in the course of human event
from then to now.
But let US speak of Austin as we see
now. We find it to day great grown-up
city, spreading itself out in every direc-
ton. 1t has its mammoth granite capito
almost completed; no longer the old con-
gress hail. deserted; Its splendid Uniyer-
sity; its grand charitable institutions;
palace-capped mansions and its educa
tional advantages too numerous to name,
and its rapid strides, it is making up
stream give promise of its future great
ness and prosperity.
Apropos! This sup stream" is not an
original one. Referring to the improve
ments now going on, we were struck with
remark made by one of our learned pro-
fessors of the University. He had trav-
elled over the world and been close OBJ
server. He said that it was an historical
fact that growing cities nearly always
moved up stream, rarely down stream, or
to the south. He cited London, Paris,
New York, Baltimore, Nashville, New Or
leans, Dallas, Austin and other cities.
Hence, may it not ere long, be possible
for North Austin to become the big end of
the city?
lit is moving steadily up stream. Some
of our best citizens, who generally keep
their own counsel, and attend strictly to
their own business, are seen in that direc-
ton, seemingly in search of something.
What is it? Very many people from diff
ferent parts of the state are seeking
homes near the University. The Sixth
ward is the garden spot, and, while the
writer hereof knows not, but "they say''
the union depot is bound to be in the
Sixth ward. Well, why not? Echo an
swers, why not? "SIxTH WARD"

ATTENTION is called to tKe communica
ton on the need of county school SUI
perintendent. The school law passed by
the last legislature leaves the creation OF
such a county official optional with the
different counties, bat at the same time
would seem to advise that each county
should have such an officer. Williamson
and several other counties of the state
have already acted, and now have the
county superintendent, The CORE
spondent this morning gives his
reasons clearly and forcibly, why Travis
county should at once secure the services
of an officer of this kind, through whose
work such good as he has pointed out
would shortly rodound to the parents and
scholars of the county. Let Austin, in
this matter, set good example to the
state. The strongest, and really the only,
objection to creating this official is the
cost of his salary; but, it is poor econ
omy that would weigh this paltry sum, at
most in Travis county $1,000 annually,
against the great and excellent benefits of
the system. Travis county should have a
school superintendent.

The women of Texas seem for the first
time to be taking part in this campaign
How we honor them for their noble
virtues, and can even excuse them in their
efforts to redeem husbands, sons and
brothers from intemperance. But they
are not pursuing the right way to reform
their relatives and friends, and we sincere
ly lament that the indebted garments of
the southern mother and wife are to be
draggled in the cutters of political strife
A political woman Is an anomaly to the
south, and the moment you become one
you will lose that influence and sacredness
that clusters about your home and its
duties. This is a political fight, ladies!
II promises to be a bitter one! Keep
away from it if you want to preserve that
hallowed respect in which you are now
held. A southern man will never respect
a woman politician.

AN ABLE JOURNAL.

There is no more conservative and re-
liable newspaper in the United States
than the Baltimore Sun, that on the 18th
of this month celebrated the fftieth an
niversary of its founding, by Mr.. A. S.
Abel. Away back in '37 news was very
hard to collect, and to expedite its COL
lection-and it is given as an instance of
Mr.. Abell's earnestness and progressive
ideas-it is an historic fact that he did
more than any other man, or than the
government, to help Mr. Morse build the
first line of telegraph in the United
States, that from Baltimore to Washing
ton. From that time the Sans growth
has kept step with the upbuilding and
enrichment of Baltimore, that to day is
one of the first cities in the United States.
The fiftieth birthday of the paper was
the occasion Of very pleasant
celebration in Baltimore, during
which Mr.. Abel was presented with very
handsome testimonial of aspect from the
employees of the Sun composing room
many of whom had been at work in that
room over thirty years, several over forty

years, and one had continued there unin
terruptedly for forty-nine years. Such
stewardship proves printers can be other
than the cramps" many consider them,
aud it is also credit to the kindly feeling
that must have continued between en-
ployers and employees of that great paper.
We wish for the Sun another half century
of as great prosperity and growth as has
marked its course in the fifty years just
completed.

THE FIRST BLOW WELL STRUCK.

The ice has been broken, the business
men of Austin have been introduced to
each other, the timidity and nutural re-
serve of first meeting have now been
worn off, aud they are prepared to settle
down to work together in earnest. Inc
railroad meeting last evening in this
respect was great success. There was al
first strange unrest, and q general un-
easiness, a feeling of 'what are we here
for.n n sense of the decidedly novel. But,
when the subject of Austin's veal was
finally launched, all this gave way to earn
estness and that general and deep interest,
it was rare treat to observe. In the de-
termination to have committee of five
of Austin's leading citizens, upon whose
time and CONSEQUENCES should be placed
the burden of Austin's advancement, the
wisest thing in the history of Austin was
done. This is the nucleus the town was
pining for; this committee will be the
handspring of action; in this committee
now centers the hope of the town. The
names of these five gentlemen will be an
nounced to-day, but in advance, tits as
sufed that the selection will be wise one;
for Mr.. Eugene Bremond, the chairman
of the meeting, has Austin's we flare at
heart, and will only select the most wide
awake, yet at the same time, the safest
and most judicious and practical men of
the city. This is necessary because of
the importance of their Office and to in
spire the confidence and interest of the
town in this new and sweeping movement.
The STATESMAN to-day proudly lifts aloft
the banner of progress, and with it in
hand, will from now on untiringly and
with enthusiasm try to rally the citizens of
Austin round this the true mission of the
town, its glory and advancement. And
we. call upon this committee and the citi-
zens of Austin freely and at all times to
command the columns of this paper in
any and every way tending to help the
town and its business interests. Our part
will most cheerfully be done; let only the
citizens show the same zeal, and the good
work will be soon accomplished.

THE prohibition organ says: "Prohi-
bition is a moral, a social and financial
reform which is certain to rise to the top"
That is very true. Prohibition is a m oral
question, and belongs alone to the duties
of the church. The very thing we object
to is an attempt to legislate morality into
the minds and hearts of the people. 1t
certainly does not belong to the civil func-
tions of the government.
